Office 365 makes the iPad a work tool

 

We all know that iPads and Android tables are great.  But we also almost all have felt that these new tools sadly are not so useful at work.  I have found that Office 365 actually can bridge the gap, allowing me to use my iPads as a tool to create documents, wikis, lists and links in my iPad.

 

I am currently working with SharePoint in Office 365.  Though full use of Office 365 on iPad is not possible.  Office 365 needs Napa which does not run on any of the browsers, and you can't open Office documents.  But, if you configure you SharePoint site to open documents in browsers an Office 365 site will let you suddenly turn an iPad in to a enterprise productivity tool with all of major Office features.

I really liked my own test of the Samsung Galaxy Android Tab

I tested the Samsung Galaxy Tab and it is pretty sweet. It has a camera, some ports, and is much smaller and easier to use. Loved it.

Apple launches iPad

Share the Point: Search results for iPod

Above is a graphic I drew to show the location of the slate. I seem to have gotten the word wrong, because when Jobs introduced the new Apple tool in this space he called it a Pad. The graphic he showed to introduce the Pad was close to this one, only showing Apple products.
